This saturday is our Rust Run. We will be meeting at Antique Archaeology over on Clinton Street starting at 10:00 AM and leaving at Noon. The route is still being determined, but will likely be 50cc friendly. We will be sticking to city streets this round. We will stop for lunch at some point as well.
The weather looks like it will co-operate with us, but will be a little chilly, make sure you dress for it.
Hope to see y’all!
Last weeks meet up was a huge success. Better turnout than we’ve had in months. That tells me one thing. Y’all like pizza. So we are meeting again at Pizza Perfect on 21st ave.
Usual time from 7-9 and maybe later. Come say hi.
Also remember the Blue vs. Grey rally is shaping up rather nicely. Check it out the available details over here.
I’ll be leading the West Side’s Best Ride on Sunday, 1/22/2012. Again, this is an advanced ride, 125cc+ bikes only, please.
Meet at Thorntons, 7102 Charlotte Ave, 37209 any time before the ride starts at 11 a.m. I should be there by 10:30, and at 11:00, I will go over some of the hand signals and whatnot for anyone who has not ridden with us in the past. As soon as my spiel is over, we ride, so don’t dawdle!
After the ride, @scootervic is planning a 50cc-friendly ride through Percy Warner Park, which is also a challenging ride (don’t let the low speeds fool ya).
Hope to see ya!
I am preparing the official poll for our new meet up spot, but tomorrow we are going to be chilling at Pizza Perfect off of 21st ave. Typical time 7-9. Exact address at 1602 21st Ave S Nashville, TN 37212.
Norm had a lot of good reasons to give this place a shot, and I think it’s a great idea.
Weather may be a bit rough, but either way come hang out, you never know what we will be talking about!
It’s Tuesday and that means meet up and were also gonna squeeze some more time outta this one too. We will be meeting at Cafe Coco @ 210 Louise ave.
Tonight we will actually e discussing our new meeting spot. We will have a poll to vote on this week. Also if you have questions about the new board initiative or anything else I’ll be on hand to discuss.
I’ll see y’all from 7-9.
Well, it’s 2012, and at the last meet up we had a special request from @aries. For our next meet up we are going for a blast from the past! We will be meeting at Café Coco. To celebrate the special occasion – it’s buy your own beer for the first 100 scootnashville members that show up!
I’m also hard at work integrating a photo gallery for our events, and working on some initiatives to drum up more participation on the boards over here. The winter inevitably brings a slow down, but we gotta keep this going folks!
Our next Rust Run will be January 28th. It’s a Saturday like usual so make sure y’all get ready for ride of some sort. I’ll be posting some more details as we get closer to that day.
I’m also waiting on more responses for our board initiative. It won’t be a ton of work, but will be really rewarding. Shoot me an e-mail to board@scootnashville.com if you are interested at all! I’d like to have interested folks respond by 2/1/2012.
Hey, check out our new digs! Thanks, Ross!
So, anyway… a few of us have already talked about a New Year’s Eve ride, since the weather’s going to be really nice this weekend. This one is an advanced ride, with lots of curves and hills, and speeds exceeding 50mph, so please, 125cc+ bikes, only. Here’s the plan:
Meet up at Thorntons (7102 Charlotte Pike, 37209) anytime after noon on Saturday, and be ready to roll out at 1:00 p.m., sharp. There’s 90 minutes of riding, and with three stops, add about 45 minutes. My goal is to get everyone home before dark, so we’re rolling at 1:00! I will get to Thorntons around 12:30, to go over some stuff and hang out to chat.
If you click the image above, it will take you to Google Maps, outlining the route and the stops. If you’re concerned about whether your riding chops are up to it — and believe me, I think everyone I’ve ridden with before can handle this one! — you can check out video clips I’ve taken of some of the more challenging parts (1, 2, 3) to get an idea of how this ride goes. There are numerous gravel driveways emptying onto the route, so watching for loose gravel and sticks, etc., is a must. That said, this ride’s a blast, and I’ll be signalling for road hazards and not ripping around curves at daredevil speeds. We’ll also pull off if anyone falls behind, so ride your ride, and don’t worry about keeping up.
If you have questions, shoot me a message here; everything else will be covered at Thorntons around 12:30, Saturday. Hope to see you there!
UPDATE: @aries is asking if folks might want to also/alternately do a shorter, in-town ride on 12/31 — so please check out her comments and provide your input! Nothing wrong with having two rides on the same day!
Y’all probably remember the old forum setup. It was annoying, not user friendly and a pain to use. I’ve been searching forever to make it easier but have it integrate with the rest of the software. I finally found a solution. It’s implemented today along with a new theme that’s a bit easier on the eyes.
As a small side effect, we have to start from scratch. It’s a positive change overall, and I for one am excited about it. I’m also interested in feedback. Please continue to pass it along, I will also be compiling our meetup spots into a poll, and we will be able to vote on it.
Also as we continue to grow we need to organize a bit more. I’d like to get some interest from the group into forming a board with the intention of forming a non profit club. This will help us get events planned faster, easier and ensure greater success in the future. As of now a 5 member board is what I would like to see. If you are interested in participating please e-mail board@scootnashville.com
Thanks again to everyone for all their participation and making this worthwhile. Y’all are awesome.
The weather just doesn’t like us does it? After a few solid days of raining it looks like its gonna keep up tonight.
Having said that, it’s a meetup night. 7 til 8 at turnip truck in the Gulch. It’s about time we start looking for some alternatives while the winter hours are in effect. Leave your suggestions in the comments!
